I am posting this...

[edg]

...from a custom client. It's a single PHP page with a server-side include; it's loading from the web server on the laptop I'm using to write this post. It doesn't actually have an interface yet. I actually have to modify the PHP file if I want to change what I'm posting, and I haven't yet figured out any of the optional stuff like moods or usericons.

But I think it's pretty cool nonetheless.

So why have I spent the last five hours getting this to work? Because posting to LiveJournal from Writely doesn't work, and I'm trying to help the guys who run that site get that particular set of ducks in a row, and so I decided to figure out how to bare-bones post to LJ so I could maybe see what they were doing wrong, or at least help them do it right.

You're in conversation with the people who set up Writely?

That is the awesome.

Insomuch as we've sent a couple support-request emails back and forth. ^_-
